They're like Standard Carriers, but with less of everything (including deployment cost).
They're like Standard Carriers, but with less of everything (including deployment cost). Map routing is kinder to them and sometimes requires them.
Note that this is the first point at which ship speed comes into account in this guide. Every ship mentioned prior to this point is Fast, but from here on out some will be Slow. Most standard maps don't penalize slow ships, but 2-5 does and it's important for new admirals to start clearing 2-5 monthly as quickly as possible in order to begin acquiring medals (and by extension, remodel blueprints). You should level '''two''' of them - one fast, one slow.

! Ships !! Explanation
|-
| Jun'you, Hiyou || The best CVL at Kai stage - good stats, good plane capacity. The only demerit is that they're slow, which won't matter too much in these early stages except for World 2-5. They're identical at Kai, but Jun'you has a (very good) final remodel and Hiyou does not. Choose whichever suits your liking - you'll come back to the other one later.

|+ Fast CVL. Pick your poison - they all have a considerable downside, but you'll need one to attempt 2-5.
|-
! Ships !! Explanation
|-
| Chitose, Chiyoda || Remember those AV from earlier? They're the strongest of the fast Kai CVL, but they do not reach Kai until level '''35''' and their base CVL form is very weak. If you choose to go with one of them, level her as an AV while running World 2 maps and then perform both remodels back to back once she reaches level 35.
|-
| Ryuujou || The weakest Kai CVL, but she's easy to find and has a good final remodel.
|-
| Shouhou || Better than Ryuujou and also easy to find, but she does not have a Kai Ni form.
|-
| Zuihou || Identical to Shouhou at Kai, but has a very strong Kai Ni. However, she is very rare and does not drop until late in the main game. If you see her at all, it will be as a side result of attempting to craft CV through Construction. Do not aim to craft her specifically.
